Application filed December 8, 1891. Renewed December 11, 1893. $erialNo. 193,416. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FREDERICK SoHULE- MANN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of New York city, in the county of New York andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inEmbroidery-Hoop Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an adjustable embroidery-hoop holder in the formof a clamp designed to be secured to a table by means of a clampingscrew,.whereby, owing to the adjustment of the hoop, the work ofembroidering is greatly facilitated, and consists in the specialconstruction of the entire holder, and of the combination therewith ofcushions, all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specification,

in which similar letters of reference denote corresponding parts in allthe figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my new and improved embroideryhoop-holder. Fig. 2 is a detailed sectional view showing the upper orhoop holding section having the inner hoop permanently secured thereto,and Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the removable pin cushion.

A represents the main or table-clamp portion, and B the top hoop holdingsection, which is adapted to receive and firmly hold the embroidery hoopC.

The clamp portion A is composed of the bar a and the upper and lowerhorizontal clamp arms or jaws c c spaced to fit upon the edge of a tableor suitable object to which it may be secured by the screw D fitted insaid arm 0 as shown clearly in Fig. 1. The bar a extends above the upperclamp-arm c as shown at a, and this upwardly extending portion isbifurcated to form two clamps or check pieces of which are rounded atthe ends as shown at a and to the said check pieces a is secured, by thescrew (2, the link or intermediate section E by a tenon e at its lowerend which fits between the said cheek pieces. The said section Eturns-on the screw cl, as on a pivot, and by turning the thumb nut d,the cheek pieces may be clamped upon the tenon to hold the said sectionat any desired position, as indicated in full and dotted lines inFig. 1. The upper end of the said inter tion B turns as on a pivot.

mediate section is formed with another tenon e at right angles to thelower tenon e. The upper end of this tenon is rounded as shown at e andto it is secured the upper ring-holding section B by the screw f onwhich the sec- The lower end of the said section is bifurcated to formthe clamp or check-pieces b b which may be clamped upon the tenon byturning the thumb nut f on the screw f for holding the section and itsring 0 at any desired position at which it may be placed to the right orleft. The upper end of the said upper ring-holding section B is dividedas shown at g to form the clamps g g and the upper ends of these clampsare recessed to receive the embroidery rings 0, and said clamps areprovided with a screw h and thumb nut h by which the clamps may beclosed upon the rings for securely holding the same in position. In Fig.2 the inner embroidery ring is permanently secured to the section B by ascrew 1'.

F represents a detachable pin cushion adapted to be attached to theupper end of the section B by means of dowels j adapted to be insertedin the sockets j formed in the end of the section B, and G representsanotherpin-cushion secured to the bar a of the clamp portion A of thedevice as shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new and improved article of manufacture the embroidery hoop holderherein shown and described, the same consisting of a clamp formed with adivided and rounded vertical extension at provided with a screw d, anintermediate section E formed at each end with a rounded tenon at rightangles to one another, and the upper ring holding section B formed atits lower end with rounded cheek pieces b b and secured to the uppertenon of the intermediate section by screw f and divided at its upperend to form clamp jaws g .g fitted with a clamp screw it for clampingthe ring substantially as described.
